I like the new color scheme, and I like it that links are underlined. I would like for the background color to be different when the arrow hovers over the link, so it is really obvious when the arrow is over a link

Dah pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you,
So tell all the boys and girls.
Tell your brother, your sister
And mama too, cause they’re
About to go down
And you’ll know just what to do.

12:33 am

OldRottenHat

wordup? Pronoun and the Alphabets?

12:33 am

Douglas

Wave your hands in the air
Like you don’t care, glide by
The People as they start to look and stare.
Do you dance, do your dance quick
Mama, come on baby, tell me what’s
The Word, ah – word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway,
Word up, it’s the code word,
No matter where you say it,
You’ll know that you’ll be heard.

Douglas

Now all you sucker. D.J.’s
Who think you’re fly
There’s got to be a reason
And we know the reason why.
And act real cool
But you got to realise
That you’re acting like fools.

12:34 am

Cathyar

change it to gridup

12:34 am

Douglas

If there’s music we can use it
We need to dance.
We don’t have that time
For psychological romance
No romance
No romance
No romance for me mama
Come on baby tell me what’s the word.

12:35 am

Douglas

Ah – word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway.

Dial “L” for low...
Come on, all you people say...
Word up – word up

Morning spite, it's a quiet log at the moment

3:23 am

Glad it wasn't my coming in that caused it, lol. How's the grid?

3:24 am

FMitch

Not too bad at all, good mix of words but haven't got to the end yet so reserve judgement :)

3:24 am

KittyVane

Mornin' all! :)

mrpresident

nice little grid!! good to see you all! :)

3:34 am

Unfortunately not. Must make a note to photograph the next one

3:34 am

sprite

Yes, it is very manageable so far, mrP :)

3:34 am

KittyVane

Hello Mr P!

Let me know when you do Frances, I'd love to see what your bears are like.

3:35 am

Odin

Mr. President

3:35 am

jillibus

Several of us over here made little knitted bears for Doctors Without Borders and such, which apparently help sick little kids feel better

3:35 am

Frances

Will do Kitty

3:36 am

sprite

jillibus: that sounds great. I am a knitter too. Could I help?

3:36 am

KittyVane

That sounds wonderful Jilli!

3:38 am

jillibus

At the moment the person here who organises it has enough. It seems it's hard to get them to the right destination - they get confiscated by "authorities" who then sell them so they almost have to be smuggled.

3:38 am

Douglas

The next time I'm in Lima, I'll remember this in 4/4

3:39 am

sprite

Now that is truly sad, jilli. Some "authorities" should be kicked in the (where it hurts) frequently. At least.

3:39 am

KittyVane

I agree with Sprite, that's just not right. :(

3:40 am

jillibus

Lots of things going on are not right, right?

3:40 am

Douglas

I'd like a famous medical center on my ham sandwich, please...

3:41 am

sprite

Right. But I refuse to accept that as a fact of life.

3:41 am

Frances

Unfortunately it happens. The problem is it is always where the people need the most help that the powers that be seem to be the most corrupt.

3:41 am

jillibus

I shall now leave you all to contemplate that clue from Douglas, lol -- goodnight!

3:42 am

Odin

Later, jilli

3:42 am

Now now, don't start with calling names, Pappou!

3:45 am

PappouTed

thanks, douglas, need to think of my favorite one.

3:45 am

PappouTed

Isn't it funny? That was the first word I saw in the grid.

3:46 am

sprite

Hehe, I keep silent. Very silent, LOL.

3:47 am

PappouTed

I do a dinosaur unit every year and know all the songs, LOL

3:48 am

PappouTed

triceratops with 3 long horns, a beak like a parrot and a frill where his neck is, triceratops with 4 big legs and a tail in back!

3:48 am

PappouTed

but my picture isn't showing

3:49 am

KittyVane

Refresh the page a few times Papppou, that should make it show up

I was kicked out! Not nice :(
Hi, Jera.

3:52 am

Douglas

Good morning, Jera...

3:52 am

Frances

Morning to those just joining. Babble just had a blackout!

3:53 am

PappouTed

I remember those days, jera, I used to lend my sister all my dino props from class for nephew's party

3:53 am

sprite

Ah, so that's what kicked me out completely.

3:54 am

Jera

I see you triceratops, PT...

3:54 am

Douglas

a blackout! Crum-bum doodle-dum!

3:54 am

Odin

Having trouble getting my pic to change... and I know how to do it...

3:54 am

PappouTed

yes, he finally showed himself

3:54 am

Jera

Some songs would be great... but I can't really start planning dinos until after the luau this weekend...

3:55 am

PappouTed

odin, I'll choose another one, I didn't know it was taken

3:55 am

sprite

Isn't it strange that Am7/32 is hidden in Ca10/84?

3:55 am

Jera

Hmmm... itsy isn't a word?? That poor little spider...

3:56 am

Odin

No problem...I tried changing it for quite a while but the site is weird today

3:56 am

Douglas

There was a crossword puzzle recently where famous people were clued as anagrams of their names...Eager to use lyrical mold is an anagram for Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who gave us...

3:57 am

PappouTed

jera, let me know if you want some songs

3:57 am

Jera

I sure would, PT... my e-mail is in my bio...

3:58 am

PappouTed

jera, do you still have a record player?

3:58 am

sprite

Nah, the only anagram one can make of my name is Canard Ass. I think I better not become famous.

3:58 am

Jera

Ha, somewhere in storage...

3:59 am

Douglas

Over 100 words! Woot!

3:59 am

PappouTed

nevermind, lol, I'll see if I can tape off the record player onto a tape (that is if I can find the album)

4:00 am

sprite

Good going Douglas!

4:00 am

Jera

That would be awesome... these will be 5 year olds, btw...

4:00 am

Odin

Not having much luck this morning...

4:01 am

sprite

Odin, it is the site. If I click you profile, I see the new one. I will refresh until the site follows suit.

4:01 am

PappouTed

I teach 5 year olds, need some art projects?

4:01 am

Jera

Oh wow, yes... that would be cool!

4:02 am

PappouTed

I used to do dino t-shirts, kids loved them (sponge-paint)

4:02 am

Odin

Not the site now...just not finding many words...brain is mush Sprite!

4:03 am

Douglas

Meaningless protest that "situ" isn't in the dictionary, as in "in situ" meaning "in place"

4:03 am

sprite

Ah, I thought you still had trouble with the icon. Would some sleep help, Odin? ;)

4:03 am

Odin

Unfortunetly...I just woke up and have several Starbucks to no avail.

4:04 am

sprite

In that case, all you need do is wake up proper. Some coffee, I think... a nice walk in the garden...

4:04 am

KittyVane

I'd like to protest that "smore" isn't in the dictionary.
mmm... s'mores...

4:05 am

Odin

I live on a lake but it's still dark out. Maybe at dawn...

4:05 am

FMitch

Does anyone have the am7/32 please

4:05 am

sprite

I hope you all realise that it is the dictionary that is to blame, not us. We know more words than the dictionary. Frightening, isn't it? :)

4:05 am

PappouTed

jera, just sent you an email

4:05 am

sprite

FMitch: he is a lover, not a fighter.

4:06 am

amandacath

I think we've had this discusseion before, but remis really is a word, isn't it?

8:27 am

Uneaixoise

remiss is a word-- in french remis is the plural of "put back"--

8:28 am

Anniebrook

8:28 am

Anniebrook

amanda, i just looked it up and its not in my dictionary

8:30 am

amandacath

it's a chess thing - french, granted, but I'm pretty sure it's used in english

8:31 am

Anniebrook

amanda, the grid allows french, italian, spanish, yiddish words and i think its according to the mood "its" in

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

so true, annie!!

8:32 am

Anniebrook

I have been trying to put amore, amor, etc into the grid and i thought it had been accepted before, bad grid!!!!

8:33 am

Uneaixoise

just looked at a chess glossary: remis is German for "draw"

8:33 am

Anniebrook

just learned a new word, thanks

8:35 am

amandacath

I really wish someone would re-work the enable list. It is so wayward! Explain why it accepts e4, but not amor?

2:05 pm

Cathyar

2:05 pm

Cathyar

2:05 pm

magzel

2:05 pm

kristinc

2:06 pm

kristinc

cathy...we lost our first baby at 36 weeks...found out today they think it was a cord accident...he was born July 16th (due date today in fact)

2:06 pm

FMitch

2:06 pm

kristinc

2:07 pm

Cathyar

2:08 pm

magzel

any have ri6/21

2:08 pm

Anniebrook

Kristin, the same tragedy happened to me(it was a cord accident) 42 years ago, way before you were born, it will get better, I promise. The reason I am telling this is that you mentioned the cord. There was a knot in the cord and the oxygen was not being provided to our son. It happened during delivery and a C section was not performed. It will get better.

2:08 pm

kristinc

can someone clue the 10...don't have the list yet

2:08 pm

jillibus

kristin - it must be hard to be upbeat right now - but you're doing a great job

2:08 pm

FMitch

Tomorrow is golden kristinc and hubby and baby day then.

2:08 pm

Cathyar

eww...gold toe is also an insect repellant

2:09 pm

jillibus

cath - that's appropriate for socks

2:09 pm

kristinc

thanks annie and jilli and fmitch...we were actually glad to find out (as much as you can) today that it was a cord issue rather than a genetic concern...gives us hope for the future

2:09 pm

kristinc

that's funny cath

2:09 pm

Cathyar

yes...that is true kristinc...you can still have a child!

2:10 pm

NANCY

I need a clue for a couple of mo's please. One is the first 6/21 not the cat and the other is a 5/12, not the wet one or plural of extra. Can anyone help, thanks

2:10 pm

mattygroves

Hi! I'm back - finally home.

2:10 pm

kristinc

hi matty

2:10 pm

CiociaJudy

the 10 is ca + ****** the cat (cat commercials) + not coffee but *** (tinker the spelling)

2:11 pm

Anniebrook

jilli, are you here?

2:11 pm

mattygroves

Oh, Kristin - I've just read the log - I'm so sorry for your loss.

2:12 pm

Cathyar

i'll put it up later as it is a bit early in the day for tomorrow's icon

2:12 pm

kristinc

thanks cathy...quite special

2:12 pm

CiociaJudy

I agree Kristin. Where do they find these words.

2:12 pm

Cathyar

that 10 is apparently related to a mafia family...perhaps the family name? i dunno.

2:13 pm

jillibus

they allow a word like the 10 but not "internet". Go figure

2:13 pm

Anniebrook

Jilli, I still cant change my icon (did it once as you see) but cant do it again (it embarrassing). can you in a very simple way tell me again. could you email it to me at astern@aol.com, pretty please

2:13 pm

mattygroves

And no smores.

2:13 pm

kristinc

I tried that one too matty

2:14 pm

raelite

no inuit either

2:14 pm

mattygroves

Annie - click on My account. In your account, there's a little representation of your icon. Under that , is a link 'change icon'. Go in there.

2:14 pm

Cathyar

ya...and if it IS a mafia family name, would it not be a proper noun? therefore unallowable?

2:14 pm

raelite

sorrys

2:15 pm

NANCY

Torgone, as usual, you are the best. Got them and thanks sweetie. ***FIREWORKS***

2:15 pm

2:15 pm

2:15 pm

2:32 pm

Atalante

grunts? grunts???

2:33 pm

Eva

that's the second one in three days-he's an indoor cat, and the mice don't usually come in at this time of year, although it has been unusually cold. I actually prefer them alive

2:33 pm

periwinkle

I have one cat, 10 + 1/2 years old, her name is Zoe-Anne and she is very busy napping at my feet.

2:33 pm

Eva

well waving isn't his thing atalante...conservation of energy being one of the primary rules of being a cat

2:33 pm

CiociaJudy

I inherited two and took in a stray--Tigger, Jasper & Meeko. And none of them like each other

2:33 pm

Atalante

*giggles* true!

2:34 pm

Eva

what a beautiful name, zoe-anne.

2:34 pm

thanks Eva, She was just Zoe at first and then my mom died so I added Anne in memory of my mom.

4:28 pm

nrkii

oh, and just as I was getting it, a VERY VERY loud squirrel parked himself on the fence next to my window here, and started screaming at me ... I think he was saying "hurry up dummy, finish your babble and move on to other things."

4:28 pm

Douglas

Hooray for nrkii!

4:29 pm

Proper nouns, I think, Douglas

4:30 pm

Douglas

The innermost membrane of an organ or part, especially the inner lining of a lymphatic vessel, an artery, or a vein.

4:30 pm

nrkii

I had to go outside and ask that squirrel what his issue was -- he was staring in my window and shouting -- very strange

4:30 pm

Douglas

Then why is je4/11 in the dictionary? Hmm?

4:31 pm

nrkii

then he saw me, gave me A LOOK, and proceded down the fence to the next window of my house, where he again looked in and shouted...

4:31 pm

chj

he wanted to know when the acorns were comin

4:31 pm

Douglas

So then the Latin plural of the first in 6/21 is the in 7/32

4:31 pm

cybernan

there is no rhyme or reason to Enable

4:31 pm

nrkii

I am afraid of this squirrel

4:31 pm
